Music Appreciation
Leaders: Tony Clayden and Edward Cross
Availability: unrestricted membership provided you are in Radlett and District u3a
The group meets at St John's Church, 20 Gills Hill Lane, Radlett WD7 8DF. Although we principally tend to concentrate on the ‘serious’ end of the spectrum, we do from time to time cast our net wider.
Our sessions are held on the third Monday in the month, from 2:30 pm until 4.30 pm. Admission is £4 per person, which includes tea/coffee and biscuits. For further details, please contact either of the two group co-leaders: Edward Cross :- 07961 102197 Edx2017@outlook.com. Tony Clayden: 020-8449 5559
We do not confine ourselves to classical music.
Have you ever noticed:
- a cello asking a clarinet to dance (Weber's Invitation to the Dance)?!
- or a band of women inviting men to a drinking party only to massacre them after the men fell asleep, to avenge one woman's hurt at being jilted by her lover (Smetana's Sarka in Ma Vlast)?!
- or that the 4 woodwind chords at beginning of Mendelssohn's Midsummer nights dream represented the 'square of magic'?!
